Reading is a skill which seems more important than other skills because it can promote mastering other language skills and components. Mikulecky (2008), a teacher-trainer in the Harvard University Summer ESL Program, in the Simmons College MATESL Program, and in Moscow, Russia, a author of the book entitle A Short Course in Teaching Reading Skills and co-author of the Reading Power Series, states that reading is the basis of teaching in all aspects of language learning such as editing, writing, revising, developing vocabulary, acquiring grammar, using textbooks for language courses, and using computer-assisted language learning programs. However, many students are less interested in reading that make their reading achievements are not too good. It would be better if teacher teaches reading by using proper technique to help students to improve students reading achievement. One of techniques which could be used in teaching reading is Numbered Heads Together (NHT). The formulation of research problem was: How can the Impelementation of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) technique improve seventh graders’ reading ability on Descriptive text at MTs Misriu Al-Hasan Kraton in the 2016/2017 academic year? The purpose of this research was: to know how the implementation of Numbered Heads Together (NHT) technique can improve seventh graders’ reading ability on Descriptive text at MTs Misriu Al-Hasan Kraton in the 2016/2017 academic year. Research Method: 1. The research design of this research was Classroom Action Research (CAR), 2. The subject of this research was the seventh grade students of MTs Misriu Al-Hasan Kraton, 3.
